Blogger meet-up in Leicester

I was invited to a local blogger meet-up in Leicester on Friday night and it was a great opportunity to meet fellow bloggers and network. Organised by Laura Hadland, the blogger event was fantastic with a few surprises for all that attended! Thank you to Laura for organising a great local event for bloggers. I didn’t know any of the bloggers that were going to the event, so it was great to meet new people and see what kind of different blogs people write for.

The event started with a trip to Danique Hairdressing, who were very welcoming to the bloggers. We were given delicious peach bellinis to drink and then sat down on the salon chairs to watch some fantastic hair tutorials. Keri (the salon manager) showed us some Fashion Fixes from label m (a haircare brand that I discovered at London Fashion Week earlier this year). These hair styles are quick fixes that allow you to change the way your hair looks with simple techniques. The staff at Danique Hairdressing were also kind enough to give us some goodie bags at the end, which included information on the Fashion Fixes, some label m products to try and a hair voucher).

After the hair tutorials we went to the Cosy Club for some dinner and had another surprise which was a goodie bag on each of our chairs! These contained special treats from some local businesses and the tote bags were handmade by Laura Hadland herself! The staff at Cosy Club also brought over a bottle of Prosecco for our blogger table, which was really nice of them. I enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken served with chips which was delicious!

The final surprise of the evening was a trip toMeatcure. I had never been to Meatcure before but their hard shakes (milkshakes with an alcoholic twist) were amazing! We were treated to complimentary drinks at Meatcure and I tried the ‘Dirty White’ hard shake (Vanilla, Oreos and Amaretto). I would highly recommend trying the drinks in Meatcure – I’m going to try the food next time!

It was a great event and night out, so once again thank you to Laura for organising and getting various brands to sponsor the night. Thank you also to Sammy from Zig Zag Photography who took all the photos during the evening.
